Not only was her study abroad trip canceled at the last second, but now she's stuck in her college town. With her parents overseas, she's out of luck, and the clock's ticking.

That's when Clementine's best friend agrees to let her crash at her house-until she can figure something out.

Then she meets him.

Arlo Santos.

Almost twenty years her senior, devilishly good looking, knows how to wear a golden necklace... and her best friend's dad.

Living under his roof for the summer just got a whole lot hotter.
